Gonna give my 710's another try before i decide to sell or whatever. used to love the fit until they sat around for like 8 months cause i wore my flatheads. They lost my body shape and it hasnt been the same since. Anyone got any suggestions? Im probably gonna soak them

1. How long should I let these soak in hot water? And if I desire a slimmer fit, should I use hotter water?2. The waist is already very snug, despite the rest of the jean being baggy. When I soak, should I hang the waist above water so that it doesn't shrink?

after 40 minutes or so it doesnt matter how long you soak them afterwards. the temperature of the water actually has more effect than the time. If you want a slimmer fit you shouldve gotten a smaller size. although the hotter water will shrink it more, it will only shrink so far. Just soak the whole pair of jeans and if you dont want the waist to shrink as much you can wear them after you soak them (yes while wet) to prevent them from shrinking more than your waist size. otherwise, i'd say to just rough out the tightness a little after they dry.

OK, thanks. I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge and stick them in the dryer. Say, the waist does shrink an inch or two, will continuous wear allow it to stretch back? Because pre-dryer, the waist is quite snug.
